nopassn's CAR-Toons...

[nopassn]

A little something I've been toying with lately... converting media pics in to "cartoons" for lack of a better word... lemme know what you think...

[Vaigra]

Not a bad job, any chance of making your yellow a bit more vivid?:)

[nopassn]

Not a bad job, any chance of making your yellow a bit more vivid?:)

sure, it looks ok on my screen, but I "tuned up the color" a bit on the car... try this one...

[Vaigra]

much better :D thanx
Maybe it just looks weird because of the TFT screen on the laptop and the angle at which i can look at it can vary quite a bit.
Have you done any more cartooning?

[nopassn]

could be the screen... dunno

Yeah, I've got a side shot of an F430 (lemme dig it up) and I've got one of a 360 CS that's a front 3/4 shot (it's on my PC at home though...)

[nopassn]

the F430...

EDIT: I know the gas cap cover is "off" I just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet...

[250 GTO]

Awesome job!!

[Vaigra]

I like it, just needs brake callipers now ;) looks naked without them lol
How long does it take for you to do one?

[nopassn]

here is another one I did of the F430 (note, the tire is original, I just "kept" it...)

yeah, I'm working on getting more detailed... but, of course, the more detail the longer it takes to "draw" and fill/shade...

Depending on the car and the detail between 2 and 5 hours (estimated) I do them when I'm working, so I'm not working on them non-stop... but if I were to add the time just working on it, 2-5 hours is a pretty good estimate I think...

[Vaigra]

that's really good work. Keep it up and hope to see a couple more soon ;)
Thanx for sharing :D
I might try one. Do you know where I can get a tutorial apart from the one on digimods?

[nopassn]

I have no idea on where to find a tutorial, I just kinda "sorted it out" myself :)

here is an earlier one I did, solid colors, no shading...

[Vaigra]

lol sorted it out..hmm..guess I'll have to try the same then :rolleyes:
btw the F40 looks amazing even without the shading ;)

[ScionDriver]

Great stuff, just work on getting the brake calipers in there and you will be a 100% pure cartoonist...hahaha I just made a joke....CARtoon. or could it be CAR-tune-ist?

[clutch-monkey]

or could it be CAR-tune-ist?
haha thats pretty funny :D

[spi-ti-tout]

That just set a horrible thought in my mind....

What would happen if a ricer had photoshop???
CAR-rice-ist! :eek:
Cartoon Honda!
For some reason I'm taking this more seriously that I had anticipated... :confused:

Oh, and great pics nopassn....;)
Strange though. You have PS on your office work computer?

[carlover]

That cartooned s7 is my new wall paper. Amazing job. :)

Yeah, I've got full Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop 7, Photoshop CS, Pagemaker 7, and ACDSee 5 on my PC. Asside from my regular job duties I make signs and posters for various events for some groups in the company - so I got managememnt to "ok" getting the software :D

1967 Ferrari 330 P4...

[deanee]

looks good

[Vaigra]

1967 Ferrari 330 P4...
not bad at all, just needs some highlights etc. looks a bit flat atm ;)
keep 'em coming :D

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

I remember Matt showed me the one you did of his BMW- where you squished it up, not bad stuff at all. Could you do something German, say, an RS6, perhaps? ;)

[nopassn]

Viper SRT-10 Coupe....

IwannaRS6... I can't locate a suitable picture... perhaps you could provide one - in hi-res?

[Vaigra]

I like the way you've incorporated some detail into the background, looks good IMO.

how about if i provide a pic?
this S2, you could colour code the bumper to make it look better though ;)

[nopassn]

the only problem is, I know there are air inlets in the lower bumper, but I can't see them...

[Vaigra]

I can see them..:confused:
maybe because I see them everyday..
erm..how about another S2 pic?

EDIT: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=108568

[my porsche]

wheres rhe one i emalieed to you? :p

EDIT: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=108568

I can see them better in that version of the pic... I also noticed that the pic is blurry, which will make it harder than I care to mess with...

my porsche - I messed with it some over the weekend - but in the end, it just wasn't high enough resolution. It will have to be re-scanned...

[Egg Nog]

If you've got any spare time :)

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Here ya go, nopassn- a personal favourite :)

looks soo much better without the stripe IMO
good work, I especially like the front intakes and they way the colour gradient changes to show the shape

Looking forward to the RS6 :)

Lotus F1 a la kko

Ferrari FXX - I canned the stripe, cause it's wicked lame, IMO...

(next up - the RS6 pic...)

I really like the body, but the blue windshield seems to be standing out. Maybe try like lightning it up or something? Maybe to more of a gray?

BTW, I absolutly love the F40 and the F430. Stunning job man!:D

EDIT: Dydzi, nice link. The shading in those are amazing!:eek:

[nopassn]

agreed about the windshield... try this...

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Looks good- I like these! They're good for printing and sticking on bedroom walls :p

[nopassn]

Ferrari 360 CS...

[nopassn]

current project.... anyone care to guess ;)

[nopassn]

updated, coming along nicely, I think...

[Vaigra]

I'm pretty sure everyone knew it was an F50 GT from the first pic ;)
And to those that didn't...what are you doing on a car forum?:eek:

;)

[nopassn]

aight, after several hours... here we have the Ferrari F50 GT (s/n 001, it belongs to Art and lives in California)

[nopassn]

It's almost 2 in the morning here, got off work and couldn't sleep, so I tossed this out - to help wear me down... I know, it's not a car, but it was something to do (you'd think that with over 50,000 hi-res car pics I could find one - truth is, those take quite a bit longer... did this one in an hour)

[Egg Nog]

Pretty please :)

Just pretend it's called a "Ferrari Elise" ;)

[nopassn]

Pretty please :)

Just pretend it's called a "Ferrari Elise" ;)

I've decided to put off the RS6, currently I'm working on a Murcielago - see attached pic...

I'll give the Elise a shot next...

[Vaigra]

Murcielago's look best in white IMO but that wouldn't be much of a challenge now would it? :rolleyes:

[nopassn]

lol, yeah, gotta love a white Murcie... here's the progress... done with drawing, now ready for the shading...

[nopassn]

aight, last update on the Murcie for tonight... coming along nicely, got the body all done - 'bout a half hour tomorrow to do the wheels and background...

[Rockefella]

Very nice NoPassn, can't wait to see it done.

[SPHFerrari]

incredible nopassn, u got skills :D

[nopassn]

alrighty, the Murcie is done... my best yet, IMO... thoughts?

[SPHFerrari]

AWESOME job man!

[nopassn]

current project - any guesses?

[Egg Nog]

current project - any guesses?

Land rover!

[nopassn]

Land rover!

damn... you got me... I'm making these too easy...

I canned your pic in favor of another one - I'm not going to even attempt to render an interior... no way, no how... no MSN this evening?

[Egg Nog]

Here ya go, nopassn- a personal favourite :)

http://img250.echo.cx/my.php?image=audirs61hi2io.jpg

Since when do you like those? ;)

[nopassn]

update...

[nopassn]

aight, I've got the body done.... one to the wheels/tires...

[Rockefella]

Since when do you like those? ;)
I think Sam has always liked BMW M5's. ;)

[Vaigra]

alrighty, the Murcie is done... my best yet, IMO... thoughts?
I have to agree...best one yet...but it isn't white!! :rolleyes:
I really like the wheels and the lights.
Still waiting for the RS6 :p

[nopassn]

aight, I think I'm ready to start shading and filling...

[nopassn]

aight kids, got the body done - wheels, tires and background and I think I'll be ready to move on to Matt's challenge...

[nopassn]

aight, car is all done... still got to do the background, but that'll have to wait 'till tomorrow...

[SPHFerrari]

looks great man!

[nopassn]

behold, I give you, the compeleted Exige...

EDIT: called it an Elise, it is an Exige...

[Cotterik]

*EXIGE!

very nice :)

[nopassn]

*EXIGE!

very nice :)

really? an Exige? hmmm, the file name and the location on the Lotus website say it's an Elise... those tools... they're effing up my program over here :rolleyes:

[Matt]

And so it begins... Matt's Pair of BMW CSL's... my most ambitious car-toon undertaking to date...

[nopassn]

last update for tonight... more to come tomorrow...

[Matt]

yes there is :)


Those aren't hardtops. They just have hard convertible tops on them.

[nopassn]

first update of the night, making some good progress....

[Vaigra]

how much time have you spent on the CSL's so far?

[nopassn]

how much time have you spent on the CSL's so far?

probably about 2.5 hours... why?

[Vaigra]

just wondering how long it takes to do these car-toons

[Matt]

just wondering how long it takes to do these car-toons

It's going to take him longer to do this one because I'm being a critical picky bitch. :)

[nopassn]

closest hood grill...

[Vaigra]

It's going to take him longer to do this one because I'm being a critical picky bitch. :)
lol "thats not the red i wanted! add a drop of magenta to it!"
is that how it's going to be? ;)

[nopassn]

just wondering how long it takes to do these car-toons

depending on the level of detail, between 4 and 8 hours....

this one (the Bimmers) will pry run to 10 at least...

[Matt]

lol "thats not the red i wanted! add a drop of magenta to it!"
is that how it's going to be? ;)

We'll have to see. :) I suggested he make the old CSL green and put the Dill plate on the front.

[nopassn]

check it Matty...

[Vaigra]

We'll have to see. :) I suggested he make the old CSL green and put the Dill plate on the front.
I say leave him to it. He's done good jobs so far without people nagging him :p

[Matt]

I say leave him to it. He's done good jobs so far without people nagging him :p

Well, yes...but I can provide some detailed experience with this one. He doesn't have to rely on the picture alone. :)

You know...like which side the windshield wiper wind deflector is on.

[nopassn]

Well, yes...but I can provide some detailed experience with this one. He doesn't have to rely on the picture alone. :)

You know...like which side the windshield wiper wind deflector is on.

ummm, as I recall, I was right on that one... you would have been right, had you known which was the driver's side... :p

[nopassn]

got the headlights and grilles all finished up, looking good, IMO...

[nopassn]

..............

[SPHFerrari]

looks awesome nopassn

[nopassn]

last update for the night... here we go...

[SPHFerrari]

no more color?

[Matt]

no more color?

I yelled at him for the bad colors and I think he was going to try to make them right later on.

[nopassn]

the colors were just a test, to see how the "3.0 CSL" script on the fender was going to look... it looks ok, so I think it'll be fine...

[nopassn]

aight, after several days of getting drunk and blowing shit up, I'm back on the CSL's... first update of the day...

[nopassn]

latest progress...

[nopassn]

more....

[nopassn]

update, wheel...

[my porsche]

[nopassn]

[nopassn]

final update on the lines, pending Matty's approval... now, to begin shading and such...

[nopassn]

start of the painting...

[Niko_Fx]

You're the man Nopassn, friggin amazing.

[nopassn]

[nopassn]

alrighty, last update for the night... the old CSL is all done now...

[nopassn]

Couldn't sleep, so I started another one...

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Looks fantastic. That is definitely going as my desktop!

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

(next up - the RS6 pic...)
.........?

[nopassn]

.........?

got a pic all set up to do, but it's at work, so I cranked up the TVR... as soon as I finish the TVR (today before work) and then finish the CSL pic (pry get it finished up this evening at work) I'll start in on the RS6...

in the meantime, the TVR is done being drawn, time for shading...

[nopassn]

getting there....

[nopassn]

alrighty, got all the painting done... I was just looking at the "paint mask" layer and it looks kinda cool too, so I thought I'd post it. Next post will be the finished product...

[nopassn]

Behold, the finished product...

1st pic, original

2nd pic, car-toon

Oh, and please could you send a tutorial (if you have one) to my Gmail account? I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry, I don't have one to give... I just taught myself through hours of trial and error - mostly error ;)

[nopassn]

Back to the CSLs... the end is in sight...

[nopassn]

all done with the shading and such... final paint test, only gotta do the shadows and background now...

[nopassn]

Behold, I give you the finished product...

my most ambitious car-toon to date, and the best, IMO...

[nopassn]

moving on... the newest... any guesses?

[nopassn]

update...

[nopassn]

the rings... turned out quite well, if I do say so myself...

[nopassn]

last update for the evening... a few more refinements and such and she'll be ready for the "paint shop"

[my porsche]

schnell?
the thing i emailed you

[whiteballz]

youve inspired me to go back to tooning cars noppassn. do you airbrush, and gradient, or do you paintbucket and gradient?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Sorry, I don't have one to give... I just taught myself through hours of trial and error - mostly error ;)
That's cool, I've done my flanks and tyres well, but I'm having real trouble with chrome, headlights and wheels. Any tips?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

last update for the evening... a few more refinements and such and she'll be ready for the "paint shop"
Please can you do it dark blue? I notice that that pic is an RS6 Plus in electric blue ;)

By the way, fab job with the CSLs, as promised they are now my desktop :D

[McLareN]

nopassn are you willing to accept another challenge?
If yes, could you make a car-toon McLaren F1?
-Cheers

[nopassn]

yeah, I'm up for it, find a suitable pic and post it here. Minimum 2000 pixel width... I was thinking about a McLaren the other day... should be sweet.

I'll give the dark blue a go...

lots of light gray really for those kinda things....


youve inspired me to go back to tooning cars noppassn. do you airbrush, and gradient, or do you paintbucket and gradient?

I use airbrush + gradients + fill/paintbucket, a little bit of everything...


the thing i emailed you

as I said before, the scan is not high enough resolution...

[McLareN]

yeah, I'm up for it, find a suitable pic and post it here. Minimum 2000 pixel width... I was thinking about a McLaren the other day... should be sweet.

Here it is :)
Good luck with it!

PS: Since the car paintjob is quite complex i dont mind if you do it in only one color

[my porsche]

as I said before, the scan is not high enough resolution...
ohhh i thought you emant you could do it, but it would be easier if it were higher res, ok ill work on a higher resolution version, do i still get my old spot in line or am i behind the mcalren? :p

[nopassn]

Here it is :)
Good luck with it!

PS: Since the car paintjob is quite complex i dont mind if you do it in only one color

Prefer a stationary shot, as the wheels blurred in motion would/will be almost impossible to do...

[McLareN]

Prefer a stationary shot, as the wheels blurred in motion would/will be almost impossible to do...

Motionless pics larger than 2000 pixels in width, hmmmm....
See if this one is ok:

[nopassn]

Motionless pics larger than 2000 pixels in width, hmmmm....
See if this one is ok:

too dark... can't get enoug detail on the lower part of the bumper...

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Oh Jeez, will this one do? I'm afraid it's not over 2000.

[nopassn]

Oh Jeez, will this one do? I'm afraid it's not over 2000.

that one may work... there are some in the McLaren Roadcar thread in the hide-out, might take a look there... also, I've got several pics at home that may work... I'll check there as well... there's got to be one around that'll work... I just want a really good pic to work from, because the better the pic, the better the result...

[McLareN]

Hey nopassn, see if any of these is good enough:

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

You must really want this car done...

[McLareN]

You must really want this car done...


Well, of course i do. Its a McLaren :)

[nopassn]

Alright, I've found 2 shots that are well suited for car-tooning - both are regular, non-winged road cars though, is that ok?

[McLareN]

Alright, I've found 2 shots that are well suited for car-tooning - both are regular, non-winged road cars though, is that ok?

Roadcars? Well, i think thats ok :)

[nopassn]

[nopassn]

pretty much done with the body... now on to the wheels...

[nopassn]

last update for a bit... headed out to run errands...

[McLareN]

Its coming along nicely! Great job nopassn!
Btw, what color will you be using?

[nopassn]

Its coming along nicely! Great job nopassn!
Btw, what color will you be using?

Thanks... the car I'm doing is red, but I can give it a go in a different color if you'd like, just let me know...

[McLareN]

Thanks... the car I'm doing is red, but I can give it a go in a different color if you'd like, just let me know...

Nah, I think that red will look lovely on it.
(I was afraid that you were going for the common silver :p)

[nopassn]

Nah, I think that red will look lovely on it.
(I was afraid that you were going for the common silver :p)

aight, red it is... gotta finish up the RS6 first and then I'll finish up the McLaren... hoping to get them both done tonight, pretty ambitious...

[nopassn]

aight, the RS6 is getting close...

[nopassn]

The RS6 is done...

[nopassn]

done drawing the McLaren...

[nopassn]

McLaren is done...

[nopassn]

new project...

[McLareN]

McLaren is done...

It looks fantastic, my friend!
Thanks for doing it, im really grateful :)
-Cheers

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Yeah, thanks for the RS6, I'm guessing mesh is hard/impossible to do. Mustang- is it a GT500?

[nopassn]

yeah, the mesh is an odd design and I messed with it for over an hour... wicked impossible...

yes, new GT500... with that, here is the first update of the evening...

[Matt]

yeah, the mesh is an odd design and I messed with it for over an hour... wicked impossible...

Woulda been easy with Illustrator or Freehand... ;)

[nopassn]

Woulda been easy with Illustrator or Freehand... ;)

indeed, but my abilities with Illustrator and/or Freehand are non existent... as we've discussed...

current progress...

[nopassn]

aight, done drawing... now on to paint... final drawing test...

[nopassn]

paint test...

[Matt]

indeed, but my abilities with Illustrator and/or Freehand are non existent... as we've discussed...

current progress...

And they can't get any better unless you use it...same as it was with PS.

[nopassn]

true... but currently, I do most of my car-tooning at work, where I don't have Illustrator...

Anyway... GT500 is done...

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Looks good, possibly the most successful of your ventures.

How about a E55 AMG? Or some other super-saloon.

[my porsche]

if i get you some high res-scans can i still get my schnell in? or is it too late to be back in my old spot in line?

[nopassn]

if i get you some high res-scans can i still get my schnell in? or is it too late to be back in my old spot in line?

sure, I can take a look at some hi-res scans - email them to [email protected]

Now, on to the current project...

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

EURGH. Damn you! :D

[bos3eed]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[nopassn]

done drawing the Veyron's Body, now on to the wheels and tires...

[nopassn]

[carrera_gtcrazy]

Thats amazing!!!

[nopassn]

finished drawing the Veyron... now on to the paint shop...

[nopassn]

Veyron, done... next..? anyone got any ideas...?

[Sagaris]

heres one that should keep you busy

[nopassn]

need it at least 2000 pixels wide... anyone else got something...?

[nopassn]

newest venture....

[McLareN]

newest venture....

ahhh, good choice ;)

[carrera_gtcrazy]

Awesome! Very good choice indeed :D

[nopassn]

so, I guess I'm all done drawing it... now on to the paint shop...

[nopassn]

Carrera GT, done... next..?

[nopassn]

Brabus SLR...

[nopassn]

[nopassn]

update two...

[nopassn]

first update of the evening...

[nopassn]

done drawing it...

[nopassn]

paint test... a bit tricky to get the gradient to follow the round lines of the car to make it look right, but I think it's coming along nicely...

[nopassn]

paint test number two... coming along nicely, IMO...

[nopassn]

final paint test... now the "rest" has to be done...

[nopassn]

288 GTO Evoluzione - done...

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

nope, not a chance... maybe if they were exotic cars...

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Is it because there are lots, or because you're not man enough for it? ;)

[Sauc3]

How about this one, I would love to see this car tooned. Background's always a bonus :P. Thanks in advance.

[Niko_Fx]

Keep them coming Nopassn, excellent job man :)

[nopassn]

Ferrari 250 TdF...

[nopassn]

[nopassn]

yet another update... coming along nicely... I'm not looking forward to the wheels - I've never done wire wheels before, I think it's gonna be HARD...

[nopassn]

last update for now... off to put new front brakes on the Pathfinder...

[nopassn]

finished up the body, and the grill (that was hard too) - got the tires done - now just the wheels left to do, I'm dreading that...

[nopassn]

aight, wheel test... thoughts?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Looks very real, only comment is on the border between the spokes and the rim, I take it that will be an area of colour. Keep it up!

[McLareN]

Great job on the grill, man. It looks perfect.
Keep up the good work :)

[nopassn]

the wheels came out "ok" but I think they could have been better... but it's the best I can do with the low visibility of the spokes and such.... anyway, here it is as it sits now - ready for paint I guess...

[nopassn]

paint test 1... not too shabby, IMO...

[nopassn]

paint test 2...

[nopassn]

paint test 3... closing in on it now...

[nopassn]

got the grille done...

[nopassn]

aight, got it all painted, just gotta do the paint mask, clean up the rough spots and make a background for it...

[nopassn]

alrighty, the mighty Ferrari 250 TdF is done...

EDIT: added the original for reference...

[illusionest]

wow, that grille is amazing

very nice job on this one ;) spokes are excellent.

[nopassn]

I need input/pics for the next one - anyone got any?

[nopassn]

Firebird III Concept...

after this, could you perhaps try a 22B subaru? of not an STI would do very nicely.
